vicky white would be capable of pulling a stunt like this. it's just not the vicky white we knew obviously, there was another side to her that we weren't aware of i'm just extremely disappointed that she did this. and i don't know if we'll ever know why she did it. >> casey white, the inmate, has confessed, it's my understanding. correct me if i'm wrong, confessed to a murder. he's still awaiting trial, he's not convicted, but it sounds like you got very lucky that nobody else got hurt here. >> absolutely. that's the thing i'm so relieved about, is that no citizen, no other law enforcement officer was hurt during this escapade and over the last week and a half while we have tried to locate them and get them back in custody. >> sheriff singleton, congratulations on an end to this, ten or 11 long days later, and all the best to you. >> thank you there's a tug of war across

the country over abortion rights state lawmakers racing to increase restrictions or ramp up protections depending on the state, as the supreme court appears likely to overturn roe v. wade. today, new york's attorney general announced a bill that would provide tens of millions of dollars in funding to abortion providers in new york state. she says they're expecting an influx of patients from states that are stepping up restrictions on abortion according to nbc analysis of the center for reproductive rights data, 23 states would almost immediately ban abortion ten of them have laws on the books from before roe v. wade. 13 have trigger laws that would ban abortion soon after a new ruling but just since the draft court opinion was leaked a week ago, republican lawmakers across the country have started rolling out plans for more restrictions. take louisiana there, the state lawmakers are moving to criminalize abortion the law would mean any woman who

gets an abortion, any doctor who provides an abortion could be charged with murder. in ohio, the governor said he's requested to revive a bill from three years ago. it would ban abortions from the first detected heartbeat and in idaho, the attorney general's office reports it asked the state supreme court to lift a stay on a texas style law there. it would allow people who would have family members sue a doctor who performs an abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected. all this movement comes at the state level, as a bill to codify abortion rights in federal law appears ready to fail in congress today, the senate majority leader chuck schumer moved forward with the bill setting up a vote for wednesday but democratic lawmakers have admitted they do not have the votes to push it through cnbc's shomari stone live in mt. vernon, virginia, where protesters for abortion rights are about to march to the supreme court justice samuel

outside john roberts' house over the weekend. today, the white house condemning all acts of violence following the arson at the wisconsin anti-abortion office president biden strongly condemns this attack and political violence of any stripe in virginia, students from dozens of schools walked out to show their support for abortion. >> as a cis gender male, it's my responsibility to stand up and support the women who have done so much to support me. >> as for patrick, he says protesting is part of democracy. >> regardless of your politics, we are protesting under our constitutional right we're not doing anything illegal. >> those protesters are expected to march down this block within the next hour or so. and they plan on having a vigil, they say, in support of abortion rights shep >> cnbc's shomari stone, thank you. vladimir putin did not have

much to celebrate on his victory day. against the backdrop of his disastrous and failing invasion of ukraine, russia commemorated the defeat of nazi germany with a military parade in moscow's red square analysts feared he would use this holiday to announce a formal declaration of war. that did not happen. instead, the russian dictator gave a defiant speech defending his decision to invade ukraine putin spouted his bizarre conspiracy theory that ukraine is run by neonazis even though the president of ukraine is jewish >> translator: i am now addressing our armed forces. you're fighting for your homeland, for its future, so that no one forgets the lessons of world war ii, there is no place in the world for executioners and nazis >> for his part, the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelenskyy, delivered a fiery rebuttal

he gave his own victory day speech he called putin a madman who is repeating the horrific crimes of hitler >> translator: there is no occupier who can take root in our free land. there is no invader who can rule over our free people sooner or later, we will win and very soon, there will be two victory days in ukraine. and someone will not have even one left >> meantime, putin's all-out assault on eastern ukraine is facing big problems. a senior pentagon official says the u.s. has seen anecdotal evidence that some mid-grade russian officers are refusing to obey orders in the donbas region the u.s. official also says the ukrainians are pushing russian forces farther and farther back from kharkiv that's ukraine's second largest city not far from the russian border. nbc's cal perry reporting live in kyiv. cal. >> shep, that main parade in

moscow mirrored by a truly bizarre scene on the other side of the city where you had russian officials taking part in their own victory day parade laying wreaths, lighting a torch, truly bizarre when you take into account the fighting happening across the city, including at the azovstal steel plant. there was discussion about what we have been hearing from ukrainian officials that in and around that area as ukrainian officials say it, the forced abductions of ukrainian citizens taken to russia, pentagon spokesperson john kirby talking about it today >> we have indications ukrainians are being taken against their will into russia again, unconscionable, not the behavior of responsible power. certainly another indication that he simply won't accept and respect ukrainian sovereignty and they're citizens of another nation >> shep, the eyes of the nation now also on a school in the lu luhansk area, a place hit on saturday by what we think was a russian air strike villagers taking shelter in this

school, at least 60 people had taken shelter in the school, according to officials president zelenskyy said the dead could number up to 60 there could be dozens of people now trapped in the rubble, and just like the theater in mariupol, it could be some time before rescuers get to the site because the fighting is fierce and the russian shelling continues. shep >> cal perry live tonight in kyiv president biden is signing a bill to speed up the delivery of weapons to ukraine it revives the lend lease program from world war ii. that allowed the u.s. to help arm the british to fight off the nazis. president biden is also now urging congress to pass a new massive round of funding for ukraine. he says he wants it on his desk in the next few days cnbc's senior white house correspondent kayla tausche is live with that >> good evening. president biden deciding to separate funding requests for ukraine from the politically fraught funding for covid treatments and tests making that decision this evening, and now i

have learned from sources familiar with the matter that democrats have raised their proposal to nearly $40 billion for ukraine. higher than the white house's original $33 billion request, and the house of representatives could vote on that as soon as tuesday. this is the pentagon says existing funding to arm ukraine against russia will run out in about two weeks. president putin refusing to back down, today commemorating that victory day, the country's biggest military holiday, by reiterating his belief that russia has the right to reclaim land from ukraine and dismantle its nuclear capaabcapability top officials call it revisionist history at the white house and divorced from reality and said one element in particular was missing >> what we didn't hear, not that we expected to, but what we should have heard was plans for how he's going to end the war. how he's going to move his forces out of ukraine. and how he's going to finally respect ukraine as a sovereign state and nation that borders

his. a nation that posed absolutely zero threat. that's what we didn't hear and i think that's what he should have said >> meanwhile, heavy fighting continues in the donbas region of eastern ukraine a senior administration official tells me lack of progress for russia there could lead perhaps to a negotiated solution, but this official telling me that indication is still weeks away shep >> kayla tausche live in washington mystery in the bahamas three american tourists dead another hospitalized how the three were connected, as other visitors to the island wonder if they might be in danger the trial of a celebrity chef mario batali begins in a boston courtroom the decision he made putting his fate in the hands of one person. and another rough day on wall street. once again, tech stocks take a tumble >> plus, the one asset that just

of staff and planned successful air campaigns in iraq and afghanistan. thanks again why has russia failed to gain a military advantage in the skies over ukraine and how crucial has that been to ukraine's staying in this attack >> well, it's extraordinarily crucial, shep. it's a question that has been pondering and people have been wondering about for quite a while. i would suggest a combination of poor leadership, insufficient training, and a conscript military all of these elements have combined to prevent the russians from achieving air superiority over ukraine, which historically is an absolute requirement to be able to achieve victory on the ground so while russia put on its world war ii victory day parade today, their military is looking more vanquished than victorious in ukraine. >> a senior pentagon official

general today said the offensive in eastern ukraine has made what he called limited progress has russia squandered an opportunity to get momentum here >> i don't know if they have squandered the opportunity or if quite frankly because of the combination of elements that i just mentioned to you, they just are not prepared to accomplish such a victory and i would suggest to you that, you know, putin's asperations are now just not the donbas region one of his generals recently allowed to leak, if you will, he's looking at all of the southern coast of ukraine. that's what he would like to do. he would like to cut off ukraine from any water access, so he would like to move on odesa. but frankly, i don't think that they have the capacity, well, let me put it this way they have the capacity, but they

don't necessarily have the capability to accomplish those objectives right now >> we get all this stuff from unnamed pentagon officials should we believe everything they say i mean, as one who is old enough to remember times when they didn't, you know, i feel like it's important for us to question if all of thee setbacks really are happening do you see evidence? >> well, there is evidence i mean, i would suggest to you, having been in the military for over 34 years, that the pentagon is portraying the information that they can. and so they're trying to provide perspective that is one that's informed by what they're aware of all of that said, it's important to recognize that, you know, in war, there is no certainty many of the indicators with respect to how poorly the russians are doing, quite

frankly, are the losses they have incurred. the russian casualties right now are estimated at over 25,000 and they have lost thousands of pieces of military equipment as you mentioned earlier, or implied, the russian air force simply cannot roam over ukraine freely and so he's facing enormous challenges, and quite frankly, with a reduction in his military capacity in the stallworth effort on the part of the ukrainians, putin needs to find a way to exit. >> general, thank you for your time tonight ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy honored one of the country's smallest heroes today. his name, patron he's that bomb-sniffing jack russell terrier we reported on here a couple weeks ago. just yesterday, president zelenskyy awarded a medal to that pint-sized dog and his handler for their life-saving

the average ceo's salary jumped 31% in the last three years. over the same time, the median worker pay rose just 11% now, a new survey shows americans are paying attention and calling for change cnbc's leslie picker dug into the numbers. what did you find? >> hey, shep the report found that 87% of americans believe this disparity to be a problem. while about 70% think there should be a cap for what ceos are paid relative to their average worker industries with the highest pay gaps include restaurant and leisure, health care providers, and internet many of the frontline workers from the pandemic. those with the lowest pay gaps comprised banks, capital markets, and computer services the sentiment that ceo pay is too high spanned all political affiliations, with the vast majority of democrats, republicans, and independents saying ceos are overpaid shep >> it's one thing to agree with that and that there's a problem. but did the survey say anything

about solutions? >> yeah, so this was interesting. for those surveyed, the solutions appear focused on raising worker pay rather than paying ceos less 85% surveyed say american companies can reduce income inequality by raising their minimum wage to a living wage. almost the same proportion believes that corporations are responsible for insuring basic financial security for low paid workers. the vast majority point to the recent wave of worker strikes and support for labor unions as evidence that corporations have long been undervaluing workers >> thank you >> the water levels in nevada's enormous lake mead are now at historic lows. and as they keep sinking, people keep spotting human remains. authorities say the first was a murder victim from decades ago, and now there's another body >> plus, an important update on our top story tonight. the arrest of thealabama

around evansville. the sheriff from there, dave wedding, joins us live sheriff, thanks so much for your time i want to hear about the arrest. but first, how did you end up on their trail in your area in the first place? >> approximately one week ago, a vehicle had been abandoned at a local car wash it had been towed away some time after, someone identified that as a vehicle that was involved in the escapees from alabama. by watching surveillance footage of that vehicle and another vehicle that the two suspects got into, we had the united states marshal service in alabama and mississippi came and met with my deputies and other members of our u.s. marshal task force to see if we could come up with information based on the vehicle they abandoned here. while we were investigating, the

abandoned vehicle potentiality of them being in and around the area, and there was a police officer who spotted what appeared to be the suspect vehicle at a hotel parking lot the u.s. marshal task force went to try to intercept these people they saw us, they fled the scene. about three minutes worth of pursuit, we rammed them into a small ditch. looks like the female suspect may have had a self-inflicted gunshot wound and the other suspect was apprehended at the scene. >> so sheriff, do you know who was driving and where they got that car it's my understanding that the former corrections officer may have used an alias or something. >> yeah, where they got this particular vehicle, i'm not sure, but it appears that with some money or funds that she had, they were just buying vehicles and probably swapping them out every so often so as not to be detected

>> now, when your officers saw them today, it's my understanding that you mentioned that three-minute chase, i believe on highway 41 there. and it's my understanding that the way it ended was, a u.s. marshal's vehicle collided with theirs is that right? and who was driving their vehicle? >> not just one u.s. marshal but about three of our u.s. marshals pinned this vehicle into a ditch because they drove through a parking lot of a local factory, went through a large field, and that's where they decided to ram them into a ditch. >> i have been speaking a lot with the sheriff in alabama. he was very concerned that this man was going to hurt someone. there was a lot of reporting that he might want to even engage in suicide by cop so i mean, you had to have a lot of defensive measures going on what was the planning for all of this >> well, you know, this is a unique situation for law enforcement.

law enforcement encounters people that are violent, that are willing to take our lives and certainly other people's lives. we were well prepared if a gun fight was going to occur and we were going to win the gun fight. >> sheriff, when the shooting happened, could you tell at all or could anyone on scene at the time tell, did she shoot herself in the shoulder or was it something more serious, such that she's life threatening now? >> she has a life-threatening injury i'm not so sure she'll recover from the injury. i really can't reveal where the gunshot wound is but it was a very serious gunshot injury >> so once the vehicle crashed, she, you believe, shot herself and he did what? the former inmate did what exactly? was he hurt? >> well, the vehicle was sideways in the ditch, so he couldn't really get out by himself, so the marshal task force members went to assist him

and removing him from the vehicle, and she had to be helped out because she was unconscious. >> so she was helped out and then shot herself? >> well, we don't know at what point she shot herself, but we went to examine the vehicle, she had a self-inflicted gunshot wound. at this point, it appears it's a self-inflicted gunshot wound >> he had no weapon and didn't try to resist or was so injured he couldn't? >> well, we don't know if he had weapons or not, but everything occurred so fast and rapidly that he probably didn't have time to engage us. >> sheriff dave wedding, who has wrapped this up for us along with u.s. marshals in evansville, indiana. thank you for your time and congratulations. >> thank you for having me on. 60 seconds left now on our race to the finish senate democrats are moving forward with a bill to create federal protections for abortion rights we're expecting a key procedural vote to happen wednesday afternoon.
